Regardless of whether or not he actually is in communication with Bobbi Kristina, there is one person with whom he is still decidedly persona non grata: Whitney's mom Cissy Houston, with whom he has not spoken to since before the death.

"I know she's going through it deeply, deeply going through it," Bobby said. "She lost her only daughter. I love her dearly, and I'm here anytime. Anytime she wants to talk, I'm here."

The root of the animosity Cissy has for Bobby is said to be the belief that he got Whitney hooked on drugs -- a claim he denied in an earlier interview.
